Kansas center Udoka Azubuike will return to KU for his senior season, KU head coach Bill Self announced Monday.
Azubuike saw action in nine games in 2018-19, averaging 13.4 points and 6.8 rebounds per contest, before a season-ending wrist injury. The 7-foot-0, 270-pound, Delta, Nigeria, junior center was named a candidate for the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Center of the Year Award prior to the start of the season and was also on the preseason All-Big 12 Honorable Mention list.
For his career, Azubuike has averaged 11.5 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. His 74.4 career field goal percentage would crush the KU record of 62.0 percent by Mark Randall. Additionally, Azubuike has 92 blocked shots and is 11 blocks from cracking the KU career top 20 list.
